Chihshang Mukye Resort Introduction
Entering Chihshang Muwai Resort, you are greeted by an expansive, lush green landscape. In the distance, green mountains are surrounded by white clouds, while nearby is a verdant pasture. This area was once a sugarcane field for Taitung Sugar Factory, which ceased sugar production in 1986 and transformed into a cattle ranch. In 1994, it was further developed into a resort. To create a unique atmosphere, in 2000, several cultural items and facilities representing Mongolian culture were introduced, including 17 yurts for accommodations, fluttering Mongolian tribal flags, whole lamb and whole pig roast meals, Mongolian chess played on the ground, Mongolian chariots pulled by over 20 horses, and performances by Mongolian warriors, creating a rich pastoral atmosphere unique to Chihshang Muwai Resort. Since 2003, the resort has partnered with Taipei City Zoo to introduce various rare herbivores such as pygmy hippos, Przewalski's horses, Grant's gazelles, Chapman zebras, llamas, East African oryxes, Bactrian camels, elands, and ostriches. Along with horses, sheep, sika deer, and grazing cattle, the place resembles a small zoo, becoming another attraction for visitors. Spanning 125 hectares, the resort is currently open for free to visitors. It is recommended to rent a bicycle and ride along the long, shaded avenue of casuarinas from the entrance, immersing yourself in the beautiful scenery rich in pastoral charm, strolling across the green pasture, and enjoying the serene landscape. Of course, don’t forget to leave some time to watch the exciting performances and cultural exhibits, experience the fun of Mongolian culture, and savor various authentic Taiwan Sugar products and Mongolian delicacies.
